50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Shoreline

“Xiaolongbao House,

Are any of the tofu or vegetable dishes vegan? (Containing no beef, pork, chicken, fish, fish oil, oyster sauce, shrimp, scallops, chicken broth, lard, egg, or honey)

Thank you for your help.“

“Finally...a good Chinese restaurant in the north end. Great food, great service! We will be back!“

“Great little teriyaki spot in Shoreline. No-frills decor but very clean. I had the vegetable yakisoba: a big portion of noodles, crisp vegetables and a tasty sauce. Service was quick and polite, and the staff were genuinely warm. Simple food done right.“

“Best dim sum and ramen! My son could not believe what he was eating! We love their food and friendly service and cannot wait to go back. We drive down from two counties north! It’s a worthwhile pilgrimage.“

“This place has improved significantly 0over the last few months. Food has always been tops, now they have the service to match. I go for a 30 minute lunch break, and always have extra time. Try the general's chicken, and the spicy chicken teriyaki if you have my taste, or the banh mi sandwich you have my partner's taste. All 3 were exceptional. I'll be back many times.“

“Didn’t play at the casino—just ate at the restaurant.

When we first arrived inside the casino-restaurant area here, we were admittedly slightly put-off by the fact that we were there at lunch, and no one was really sitting down in the restaurant section. People were playing, but no one was really sitting down and eating. But we figured that we came all the way out here from downtown Seattle, and so we might as well give it a shot. Best decision ever.

The other reviews here are not lying: at least based upon the chicken curry alone (bizarrely enough, NOT listed on their menu, but indeed listed on the tv screens scattered around the casino) this restaurant has some absolutely incredible food. The chicken curry alone is worth the trip from Seattle. It’s genuinely delicious, authentic, and just bursting with a lot of complex flavors. It is legitimately one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time.

There appear to be a number of other items on the menu worth trying too—though we only tried the other dish pictured here: “The Grand Platter”. And it was good—the wings and tempura were definitely quite good. But it was the curry that blew us away—it is legit something you’d find at a five-star restaurant. It really is that good.

Anyways, just wanted to chime in with the rest of the reviews here. Dunno if casinos often manage to attract talent like this, but however this casino pulled it off, they struck pure gold with whoever is making their Vietnamese food.

Oh and our server was great as well! So all-in-all, just an incredible experience.“

“BUSSS better than most jianbingguozi I've had mainly because the outer egg layer is very crispy/thin enough

The fillings are also really good my fave being the youtiao/chinese donut and the roast duck, was obsessed with a time and went like 3 times in 2 weeks :,)“

“One of the best restaurants in town, no question! Their vegan options are SO GOOD. We can’t recommend them enough. Fresh, delicious, good portions, solid options, and just so good. A total must if in Seattle.😁“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“Great food and quick service.“

“Amazing service every single time! They definitely do not skimp on the portions either. The chicken teriyaki is easily my favorite dish. The meat is always incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor, and the teriyaki sauce is absolutely to die for! The generous portions, delicious food, and consistently great service keep me coming back!“

“Wonderful! atmosphere and fresh food!“

“Reliably good Szechuan food right on the Ave. Don't miss the string beans or hot oil noodles. Nom.“

“Delicious food, excellent service and the drinks! If you know, you know. 😉“

“It’s a hidden gem. Very comfy Chinese food. Great portions and reasonable prices. Approximately $1 per dumpling. Can’t find that price and quality in Seattle.

I enjoyed the pork shrimp dumpling and my vegan wife enjoyed the mushroom and cabbage dumplings. We will drive back from Seattle again“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“There's this unexpected gem, you MUST try, in the U-District! It's the Red Pepper Chinese Cuisine! They are this great clean and fairly fast restaurant, that serves up hearty and delicious meals! Most of their entrées serve 2 or more people (almost family style), so bring your appetite!!! We had their Dry Pot dish, where you can choose 5 mix and match ingredients, on their menu. A Stir-Fried Noodle, with Chicken and a Deep Fried Chicken Soft Bone, with RED PEPPER! 😉🔥🌶 Everything was super delicious and filling!!! It looks like they have great lunch specials too, so go check them out and lmk what you try! Cheers!“

“Yes they do review farm for a free drink, but I genuinely thought the food was delicious and great value and portion.

The shrimp fried rice was tasty and fillings, and the fried skewers definitely satisfied the craving we had. The staff were so nice and attentive as well. We will be back“

“This was our first time visiting, and we were really impressed with the food, especially the beef brisket and seafood combination clay pots we ordered. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations!

We didn’t expect the food to be this authentic at a Chinese-American restaurant, but everything tasted incredibly authentic and flavorful. The owner was also extremely nice and welcoming. Our water was always refilled on time, and they regularly checked in to make sure everything was good.

We’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“Hands down, the best pho you’ll find in Seattle! This place is killing it! I’m incredibly lucky to live in the neighborhood and I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. We were one of their first guests in those early days and eat here so much the owners know me by name! If I were qualified to give food awards, this place would win my 2024 Best of Seattle award! 🥇👏🏻✨ Ps. They do not accept reservations - it’s first come first serve. Around 6pm, they go on a waitlist and a line starts to form outside. Don’t bother calling to get on the waitlist - they won’t even do that for me! You have to show up in person to get on the list.“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“It’s solid, and like Taiwanese food, for me, it’s just fine — never impressive. Overall, I like the experience.

A) Green onion bread, 5 star. Nice crunch.
B) The beef and cheese crepe? 3 star. Solid but not special.
C & D) The bento box with lamb and another with beef? 4 star. Average size portion of rice with Kim chi, hot dog, half tea egg, and entree. Added soy. Milk and tea egg for $3.00

Enjoyable. 3.5 star but I’ll round up to 4.0 star. If you’re Taiwanese, you’ll fair better.“

“A fantastic little spot for great Chinese food. Good prices, great options, and most importantly great taste. Only minor gripe I had was it says open till 11PM which is fine, but I was surprised to see table reservations for 10:15, 10:30, and 10:45 so I assumed maybe it’s a last entry is 11PM kind of thing. I booked 10:15 and got there on time, but was told that there’s no more seating and it would need to be take out. However, the host/server was still ready to seat me and my friend upon hearing we had a reservation which I really appreciate. I got take out anyways because I did not want to be annoying. And the food was out quickly and it was delicious! So keep doing what you do, I eat from here all the time, but please remove the table reservations that late if they aren’t actually real!“

“We had nice dinner here. The parking was easy, the service was courteous. We ordered smocked duck with tea flavor, spicy beef hot pot, dry fried beans, glazed sticky rice cakes. The duck was very flavorful and tasty, I think the duck was marinated for overnight; the beef hotpot was all good and delicious, except the cauliflower was bit harder to chew; the beans were nice and crispy. Overall we're very satisfied with the food here.“

“The first thing I noticed was the pristine cleanliness. Even the corners of the floor by the entrance door were spotless. Service was fast and efficient; a large pot of perfectly brewed Jasmine tea arrived quickly. My husband ordered the chicken chow mein, I ordered vegetarian dumplings, and we split the best fried rice we've ever eaten. I never expected to eat 6 of the dumplings! They were so delicious that I couldn't stop. My husband said, "We've got to come back here!" Its a little hard to find, but well worth the effort.“

“Nice casual Sichuan noodle place. The one wait person tending all the tables was busy but locked in, and checked our order (unprompted) for honey to ensure it was all vegan. The mocktail and pickles were refreshing, though the mocktail would have been more interesting if less smoky. The sesame noodles would have been tastier with more garlic, ginger, and scallions and less salt, but it had the perfect amount of white pepper.“

“Consistently excellent food; the freshest ingredients. Never disappoints!!“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

“Seeing we were Asians the server immediately and politely informed us that it's American Chinese fusion food just in case we were expecting traditional Chinese food. To his surprise we really enjoyed the lunch. The portion was big and Chef Liao's cooking had wok hei.“

“This establishment only does take-out food service. It's my favorite Chinese food spot in Seattle. It reminds me of spots back home in NYC. The owner is very kind, friendly - wonderful customer service (feels rare in the PNW).

I highly recommend this spot.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Such an incredible new Chinese place for north Seattle! Every dish we had was amazing. Mongolian beef with crispy rice noodles--perfect flavor. The sweet and sour pork was like nothing we've had before, and the pot stickers are clearly made from scratch on site, they taste soooo fresh. Best of all, the chef had just whipped up a bath of popcorn chicken with this amazing sweet/spicy seasoning, and let us try it to give our opinion on the new recipe. So good! Very high quality food, made fresh, and incredibly reasonable prices. (Most entrees I saw are $9-12.) And the owners are exceptionally kind and professional. This will be our go to when we are in the neighborhood.“

“I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember and it’s still my favorite Chinese food I’ve ever had. Before it was Chiang’s it was called China Harbin in the eighties and before that it was a Pizza Hut, hence its architectural shape. Ordering off both the American Chinese Menu as well as the traditional Chinese Menu is a must. Highly recommend their hot and sour soup, housemade noodles, scallion pancakes, Chinese greens, and salt and pepper prawns. My son ate an entire tray of noodles to himself. Also kind of a bonus their fortune cookies are the best— both in taste and the fortune itself. My fortune was on point.“

“One of the most interesting and flavorful combinations in the Seattle area. Amazing“

“12/25/2025, 5pm Fyi, they are 2 hours behind and don't start until you arrive. Get here in a hurry if you want to eat today. Thankful they're open! Merry Christmas.“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“Amazing wontons! This place is the real deal. Worth checking out. Hope they expand out of Seattle.“

“going to go there now and order for myself“

“My son asked for water bowl for our pup. They would not take money for it. Then we both wanted food and got chicken bowls that were perfect. The lady brought them outside to us with a bowl of chicken for our pup. She was amazingly friendly. The food was great. Give this place a try. Hope you have itas good as well both did. We will be back.“

“Just delicious food! And, I thought the staff was very friendly and courteous. The establishment was clean and I will be returning to order food from them soon!“

“I love the mom and pop vibe here. The egg flower soup is exceptional. I appreciate that they offer a lunch special with so many choices, since I alwsys want it ALL when I have Chinese. The lunch special includes your choice of egg flower or hot and sour soup, and egg roll, your choice of white, brown or fried rice, and then your entree choice. Each is about $15. Idk if they were out of it last time, or if they stopped including hot tea with lunch. It is clean and the staff are friendly. They offer to go. They can accommodate individuals or a group of up to 8 at a big round table with a lazy Susan.“

“I was craving dumplings and once we arrived we could not decide what to eat .. EVERYTHING LOOKS AMAZING! We ended up getting 4 orders of dumplings, the chow mein and a couple drinks. Everything was so good. Pictures do not do this place justice it’s beyond the picture it’s the taste of real authentic Chinese food. They perfected the craft and don’t hold back on seasoning / flavor. (Thankfully) Definitely coming back again, thank you for an awesome and tasty experience !!“

“For those complaining there’s no where to eat inside… that’s the point. No one wants to clean up after your rice all over the table and floor. The owners are too friendly and nice to deal with you. Plus, food tastes better in the comfort of your own home! Try their salt and pepper tofu and orange chicken.“

“The Seven Flavor Beef was a well know West Seattle favorite of the new owner’s former now closed restaurant, Lee’s Asian. He had added it to the Judy Fu menu. A bit too salty this time around. Reduce the salt and you’ll have a new neighbor winner. Folks in West Seattle have gone without their Seven Flavor Beef fix for so long have wondered. So here you go.“

“The service, food, and atmosphere was great!! Came here after a movie with a group of friends and had an amazing time. Our favorites were the baby back ribs and brussel sprouts. The cocktails were great, especially the espresso martini which had coconut milk and was so rich and delicious! Our server Archer, was awesome and gave us the best recommendations and best service!

If I could give a feedback towards improvements it would be to make it easier to see in from the outside! When we arrived, we almost didn’t go in because we couldn’t get a feel for the vibe. I think this place would get a lot more business if people could see the atmosphere from the outside. The overhead lighting could be dimmer, with perhaps a source of light on the tables. The food was great but could come out hotter too.

Other than that, we had a great time and I hope you guys stay around for a long time!! We will definitely be back and recommend to our friends!!!!!“

“I have lived in Seattle for a while and I have yet to find a restaurant as good as little duck. The price to portions that you get are otherworldly for Seattle. A bowl of rice per person, and a all of the mains you can split with one person. I would get one meat one vegetable for 2-3 people, and two meat one vegetable for 4 people.

The Mapo tofo, Twice cooked pork, hot and spicy chicken, and stir fried potatoes eggplant and green peppers are my favorite dishes.

This is a truly special hole in the wall restaurant, that I will be coming back to for many years to come. I could not give higher praise to a restaurant in Seattle.“

“I live rather close to this hidden gem and decided to try it this week. I placed a large takeout order for pick up later and my order was ready promptly and was nice and hot! My partner and I especially loved the General Tso's Tofu and the Pan Fried Turnip Cake. The atmosphere looked immaculate when I went to pick up my order, I can't wait to dine in next time!“

“Ichi Roll is a teriyaki place right north of greenwood. It's easy to get to and has a small parking lot in front since it's part of a little strip mall. It's hot maybe a dozen tables inside, but most people get it to go. They have a big menu, but portion sizes are large in comparison to the price. The food is good here, the move is to get a bento box since it's a lot of food, you get to try a little of everything, and it's pretty inexpensive. The staff here are so friendly and everything is made to order. Overall it's a solid teriyaki place for lunch or dinner.“

“I love Sichuan pepper 🌶, it's the perfect kind of spicy + numbing that makes you want to eat more and more. The dry pot chicken is amazing, a must try for anyone chasing the burn. The general tso chicken was also a delight, crispy and flavorful.“
